title: [Closure of anterior oro-nasal communications, sequelae of cleft palate, using a retro-incisal flap].
abstract: The persistence of a residual communication between mouth and nose, is an important sequela a after primary closing of cleft palate. This retrospective study reports twenty-one cases of a new technique (retro-incisive flap) used for closing this residual communication. This flap is an easy and reliable method with an 85% success rate, so we recommend it as the first choice in this indication.
